Cervical osteochondrosis: treatment, symptoms

In the complex therapy of cervical chondrosis (osteochondrosis), injection solution, ointment, cream, tablet, drage is used.Preparation of pain, edema, inflammation, sensitivity, dizziness, blood pressure.

osteochondrosis

Characteristics -Features of a disease

Cervical osteochondrosis courses are accompanied by slow destruction and irreversible intervertebral discs.Deleted the shock that absorbs the cartilage, the vertebrae also begins to change. At the acceptance of a vertebrologist or a neurologist, the patient complains of acute or pain, stiffness, dizziness with a sharp increase, so the therapeutic scheme is made up of drugs with various properties:

  • external funds with local action, regeneration, warming;
  • preparations that provide full brain nutrition;
  • Chondroprotectors launch the disc recovery process;
  • local analgesics and systems.

The pathology has not been fully healed.Doctors' efforts are intended to eliminate painful symptoms, preventing the spread of other spine.For this, a complex therapeutic scheme uses drugs of various groups.

Signs -to cervical chondrosis

In the early stages of the development of the disease, symptoms in women and men are almost absent.Sometimes a person is disturbed by a weak and uncomfortable sensation in the evening.He described them fatigue after work days, so he didn't go to the doctor.And at this point, the intervertebral disc is gradually destroyed.Vertebra with the formation of defective bone growth, squeezing the vertebral artery.About a year later, painful sensations were replaced by pain, increasing by turning or tilting the head. Chondrosis is also indicated by such symptoms:

  • clicking, hacking around the neck;
  • limiting the amount of movement;
  • jumping in blood pressure;
  • rapid heartbeat;
  • Migraine unilateral pulsating headache;
  • hearing and hearing loss;
  • dizziness, gait trembling, fantasy rotation sensation;
  • Nausea attacks, rarely end up vomiting.

Due to brain oxygen starvation, frustrated sleep, weakness, indifference, fatigue, and ringing in the ear.The condition of a person's psycho -anemotional is deteriorating - it becomes nervous, concerns about small things.

The principle of treatment of drugs

Manual therapists, professional massage therapists, physiotherapists, and training therapists are involved in the treatment of cervical chondrosis.In the final stages, the use of folk remedies is allowed.But the main role in complex therapy is assigned to pharmacological drugs. All dosage forms are in demand:

  • Injection solutions are used to worsen the condosy to quickly eliminate painful symptoms;
  • Tablets, capsules, dragees are prescribed during remission to prevent disc destruction, eliminate weak or moderate pain, blood circulation recovery;
  • Ointments, gels, balms, creams are the safest, quickly overcome stiffness, unpleasant crises.

It rarely treats osteochondrosis with any drug.Therapeutic schemes usually include at least 5 funds with various pharmacological properties.They are combined, easy to use at home.

Anti -non -ssteroidal drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs are more frequent than other drugs in the treatment of cervical chondrosis.They are shown in acute, piercing or far, stupid pain.The mechanism of drug action -Anti -ssteroidal medicine is based on the ability to inhibit the enzyme responsible for the production of neurotransmitter. All NSAIDs have a comprehensive effect on the human body:

  • eliminate pain;
  • Eliminate crunching, click that occurs during the neck round;
  • Stop the flow of sharp, subacute, chronic inflammation that affects soft tissue;
  • stimulates decreased swelling that violates nerve -sensitive endings;
  • Increase the amount of movement in damaged cervical vertebra.

In the treatment of chondrosis, medicines in the form of a solution for parenteral administration have proven themselves well.From the tablet, the purpose is practiced.The use of NSAID length leads to damage to the gastric mucous membranes.Simultaneous intake of proton pumps will help prevent it. Medicines reduce the production of aggressive gastric juice with parietal cells, which increases under the influence of NSAIDs.

Synthetic hormones

Glucocorticosteroids are synthetic analogs of hormones that produce adrenal cortex.This is a "severe artillery" treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.Like natural hormones, glucocorticosteroids quickly stop inflammation, swelling, almost instantly relieving pain.They are used in the form of solutions for intramuscular administration.But with acute pain, their administration may continue to the destroyed intervertebral disc area. Severe pathological therapy is performed by hormone drugs.One injection is enough so that painful sensations do not appear within 3-5 days.Glucocorticosteroids are prescribed to patients with osteochondrosis with NSAID inefficiencies.This is all about the broad list of their potential side effects.Excessive use of hormones causes damage to the muscles, bones, tendon-ligaments.Hormone agents are forbidden to use children during breastfeeding, in adolescence and children.All glucocorticosteroids have many contraindications.In clinical practice canceling cases of severe damage to the liver, kidneys, stomach after prolonged hormone therapy.They are not used in the presence of liver cirrhosis, peptic ulcer, kidney failure, osteoporosis.

Chondroprotective drugs

All methods used in the treatment of complex chondrosis only eliminate the symptoms, while improving human well -being.One of the exceptions is chondroprotectors.These drugs include materials that can launch the destroyed cartilage intervertebral disc.The neck stopped hurt after its use disappeared for several hours, but for a while.At pharmacies, chondroprotectors are presented in a variety.These are capsules, materials for the preparation of injection solutions, powders, packaged in packages.The most famous chondroprotector for the therapeutic effectiveness of the proven is demand.

Means improving micro -circulation

Medicine sought to improve blood circulation with cervical osteochondrosis -Nikotinata.These drugs are used in the treatment of high severity pathology, when not only the disc, but also the backbone of the bone.The compression of the vertebral artery is indicated by cervicocranialgia.These are the complex names of the symptoms of vertebral artery infringement: headaches, "flies" in front of the eyes, temporary vision, sweating, heart rate.Improving micro circulation, eliminating "vertebral artery syndrome" helps thioctic acid.It is part of the solution produced in the form of solutions for parenteral administration.The disadvantages of these drugs are unclear effects, as they accelerate the movement of blood throughout the body, which is not always appropriate.Therefore, their list of contraindications includes epilepsy, hypertension, peptic ulcer.

Drugs with vitamin b

Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis in the exacerbation stage is not without the use of medicines, the composition formed by vitamin B. The fact is that acute vertebral bone growth violates not only the vertebral artery.They suppress sensitive nerve roots, affecting conservation.The nervous pulses enter the central nervous system with delays, the reaction is prevented.Violation of conservation leads to paresthesia - loss of sensitivity of certain parts of the body.In the treatment of cervical chondrosis drugs, the drugs whose activities are determined by pyridoxine, Thiamine, B12 have proven themselves well.Most of them are produced in the form of solutions for intramuscular administration.It contains vitamin B and anesthetic.Therefore, after the injection, the pain immediately disappears, the amount of movement in the cervical vertebra zone is restored.At the same time, the product improves blood flow, the functioning of the nervous system, muscles and cardiovascular, stopping inflammation, nervous deterioration.There is a contraindication for its use.This is the duration of pregnancy and breastfeeding, hypersensitivity to ingredients.

The best muscle relaxant

The elimination of weak symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis and home treatment is often difficult for muscle cramps.The nerve spine is squeezed with a shifting intervertebral disc, inflammatory edema.There is a strong pain syndrome, whose body is trying to get rid of muscle cramps.Thanks to this strange protective reaction, human mobility is limited, uncomfortable sensation is lost.But often the increase in skeletal muscle tone causes greater pressure on the nerve endings. So intense pain appears that you can overcome it only with the help of muscle relaxants.Musorelaxants are combined with all drugs for the treatment of chondrosis drugs, including glucocorticosteroids.They are well received by the body, but some can cause addiction and "cancellation syndrome".Therefore, they are not intended for prolonged therapy.The duration of the treatment rate does not exceed a week.

Medicines -Medicines Improve psychological conditions

Of all the chondrose, it is a cervical specifically the impressive of a person's psycho -anemotional state.This all violates the growth of the vertebral artery, leading to the hypoxia of the brain. The patient suffers from the symptoms of the musculoskeletal system for pathology:

  • panic attacks;
  • depression, neurosis;
  • visual and hearing loss;
  • Cough is not productive dry;
  • breathing difficulties;
  • anxiety, indifference, fatigue;
  • Various sleep disorders.

It doesn't need to be done when they appear - use medicines for cough, eyes or ears.To eliminate symptoms is often obtained with a course of reception with a light calming effect.

A balanced vitamin complex

Most vitamins, micro and macro elements that cannot be replaced into the human body together with food.But not always food can provide physiological requirements or have improper assimilation, distribution.For example, with the disruption of the circulatory disorder of the cervical osteochondrosis.There is a lack of bioactive material, which negatively affects the work of all life systems.To quickly make the daily needs of the body in vitamins, micro and macroelements, their balanced complex should be included in a therapeutic scheme.Magnesium forms muscle and bone tissue, and iodine controls metabolism.Manganese, molybdenum, chrome, potassium, chlorine, selenium, zinc stimulate tendon-linen, and copper stop the inflammation process.These mines are available in all of the above complexes.Proper use of drugs is to use 1 dragee daily - this amount is sufficient to increase blood supply to the brain with beneficial ingredients.A week later, the signs of anemia disappear, which occurs in 3 stages of cervical chondrosis.One no longer feels sleepy, does not suffer from movement coordination.Double objects before the eyes disappear.

Therapeutic plaster

Time -tested remedy for exacerbations of osteochondrosis is pepper patch.Its composition is represented by red pepper phytoexistles, Belladonna.The active ingredients of the patch gradually penetrate the damaged disc area, having an analgesic effect for 3-5 hours.If the neck is sore, then the external drug is used in whole or cut into small pieces.Pepper patches are easy to use for home treatment, at work on the go.But he also has contraindications - individual intolerance to one of the components.And in women with sensitive skin, it can trigger chemical burning.Plaster shows anti -Flammatory, decongestant, chondroprotective activity.They are designed to treat all cervical spine pathologies.Their use helps reduce the pharmacological burden on the human body by reducing the dose of systemic drugs.

How to properly treat cervical chondrosis?

To stop the destruction of intervertebral discs is only obtained by an integrated approach to therapy.Wear an orthopedic device (collar) that fixes the vertebra in an anatomical position.Plickers should be used to increase blood supply to damaged tissues with nutrients and bioactive substances.Daily classes of physiotherapy training, yoga, swimming, walking in fresh air are shown.Most medicines are advised to relieve symptoms during severity.They have many side effects, including damage to the liver tissue.For continuous use, chondroprotectors, blood circulation products, a balanced vitamin-mineral complex.
